The North Star, or Polaris, is located approximately 433 light-years away from Earth, in the constellation Ursa Minor. In relation to the Sun, Polaris is positioned far outside our solar system, well beyond the orbit of the furthest planets. While the Sun is at the center of our solar system, Polaris serves as a fixed point in the night sky for navigation, positioned nearly directly above the North Pole.
